Dry Verge | Plastic Roofing Products | Improve Your Roof Today

If you are looking to improve your home with modern dry verge roofing caps, below the team at dry verge dot net have put together this simple guide to tell you how a trades man will go about pricing up your home to fit dry verge caps.

Fist of all you need to work out how many dry verge caps you will need, it is worth noting at this point that homes and roofs with Roman Tiles can only be fitted with continual dry verge systems, Roman Tiles do not allow for the single pastic dry verge caps to be fitted over the peaks and troughs in the Roman Tiles.

So to work out how many Plastic Dry Verge caps you are going to need, you must count the tiles on your roof – starting at the gable end, count down to the last tile on your roof -a typical 1970’s UK detached property – commonly has abut 12 tiles on each side of the gable – thus – for this style of home – you are going to need – 12 dry verge caps for each Gable end, and then you are going to need 2 starter dry verge caps and then 1 gable end dry verge cap, like wise for the other side of your roof.

Single dry verge come to trades man at about £3 each (for quality dry verge – don’t fit anything other than good, branded dry verge caps – the cheap Chinese manufactured caps are a waste of time and money, they are so flimsy and poorly made that in 4-5 years, you will most likely need to replace them, providing they stay together long enough to even fit)

You will also need a box of screws.

So to summarise – if you have a semi detach property you are going to need half as many dry verge caps as for a detached property… with at least £100 worth of materials, a trades man is going to want to take about £250 + materials for the one side – naturally if you are detached and the dry verge fitter is at your home, doing both sides should come in at about £550 (including materials) – Obviously, different trades man will want to take different figures and Dry Verge do indeed require some experience and skill to fit them neatly and plumb.

These caps are going to be on your home for a long time to come, so be sure you are happy with the fit, stand underneath and see if you can see any large gaps or funny lines – no roof is perfectly straight so there will be some manipulating to ensure your caps are properly fitted, Dryverge.net has also witnessed poorly fitted and cheap dry verge caps coming off in high winds – yet another reason to ensure you find the right dry verge quote and fitter.
